The HD one. No question about it. It's far, far more detailed than a Chilton or Haynes manual. Chilton and Haynes concentrate on too many years and models in one book. That's nice if you have several bikes that might use the same manual, but the HD manual has specific info for your bike, not just a range of comparable bikes. Some of their chrome or other items may not be worth the price, but the service manual is definately worth it.

I did a poll on this same question in another forum. Everyone said HD, but not much feedback on the Fix My Hog DVD.
